In any design/installation – starting with a solid, reliable data-set that you have confidence in, is super important. So, understanding what a ‘good’ set of measurements looks like versus what an erroneous set looks like is critical.
All safety-related calculations are based on this fundamental piece of information – the soil model. Get this right and everything is golden but get this WRONG and the entire project can be based on misguided assumptions which can be expensive to reverse at best, and outright dangerous at worst!
So, learn where the errors can creep in and why. Learn the common mistakes to avoid so that your project, your tests, are technically secure when they fall under the spotlight of close scrutiny.
The key takeaway from this webinar is that you will learn why soil resistivity testing is so massively important to a technically secure earthing design that follows. Get this part wrong and everything else you do from that point on may be for nothing… and at worst, any error may put people’s lives at risk.
So, after watching this webinar you will learn what common mistakes are and how you can avoid them. As well as learning what the standards expect from you.
This webinar is right for you if you are…
If you are someone that organises the Soil Resistivity measurement task but does not actually ‘do’ the field work, then an appreciation of the task is sufficient. However, a reasonable level of practical knowledge is assumed if you ‘do’ measuring yourself.
